On this Transgender Day of Remembrance, we mourn those whose lives were lost to anti-trans violence.

We honor those we lost by continuing our fight for justice.
On Trans Day of Remembrance, My Grief is My Power | ACLU
As the trans community remembers those we’ve lost, I find strength in understanding why the grievous injustices that continue to harm our community must be stopped.

After months of needless delay, the Trump administration has finally agreed to follow the law and forgive student loan debt for borrowers who have been waiting decades for relief.

This will be life changing for millions of working class Americans.

Washington's General Election is coming up on November 4. Do you have your voting plan ready?

Like with any goal, clarity is your friend. We're more likely to follow through when we know how, when, and where we'll be turning in our ballot.

The government is in full shutdown and the Republicans are refusing to call the House back into session.

Want to know why?

Because we have secured the final vote on releasing the Epstein Files and they don’t want it out.

Call GOP and tell them to swear in @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social.

The Trump administration sent federal agents to an ICE processing center in the Chicago area to brutally suppress protesters and the press.

No one should have to fear rubber bullets or tear gas for making their voices heard or reporting on protests.

What's happening in Chicago is not normal.

The arrest of Alderperson Fuentes is just the latest example of how far Noem and Bovino are willing to go to ignore the rule of law. We must all speak up.

Abdul Raheem and Shamiyan Hawramani have fostered more than 200 kittens in six years.

Their videos share each litter’s journey from arrivals to adoption and kitten high jinks: wrestling matches, demanding meows, hiding in paper boxes. https://wapo.st/46MXbd1

Sometimes I get sad but then I remember . . . I have eyebrows when I wake up

My first heart break. It’s been a privilege to watch you grow. You are proof of bad decision turned sweet. I watched you go from being shy, after every move we made, you came out of your shell. You went from hiding to coming out to greet people. You would sit on your deck just breathing it all in.

I can give it a day
I can give it a week months even years
At the end of it all there’s nothing left but the end.

You lay in bed thinking of oh what a journey it has been. Hoping there will be an end. Enjoying the ride just seems insane. No one else to blame but the choices that were made trying to make you go insane. But in the end you wouldn’t have it any other way. That’s insane.

Imposter syndrome: letting her sleep
Part 5: She was a gift, has been a gift. She stands by me through every shift. It is time to grieve. The life she came from. The life she lived. The life she is in. The life she will leave. The tears, joy of how she came to be, or her leaving me behind.

Imposter syndrome: chance, encounter, an chance encounter

Part4: the day you gave up. The day you said enough. The day should have ended. You should have walked way. You should have walked down the stairs. Today you stand at the landing looking back down. Wondering. Why did I come this far

Imposter syndrome: ill, advised.

Part 3: when your inners are being poked and prodded. The full body cramps. The trauma and shock flooding your system. Feeling ill. You take ill advice. You ask the question not needing answers. What was achieved, what was the goal. A life removed a life remaining.

Imposter syndrome: regrets, an anniversary.

Part 2:

You have been giving the miracle of life. Did you ask for it? It was a gift.
With this you can also give the gift. 11 years ago you had a chance. You gave up that chance. I painful experience, an agonizing ordeal. Alone. Lost and unsure.

Imposter syndrome : who even am I?
Part 1:
A story about childhood trauma and anxiety. How you felt like you lived different lives. Who you thought you should be. Who people thought you were based on who you told them you were. Who you were told to be based on who you should be.
